Despite the problems Tennessee has been through on the playing field this fall, the Vols have continued to recruit at a high level. With the Class of 2009 creeping closer to capacity, one of the needs remains along the defensive line. That's a need the staff would like to see filled by Chris Bonds, four star defensive tackle from Columbia, S.C., and one of three official visitors this past weekend.

Bonds (6-foot-4, 262 pounds), from Richland Northeast in Columbia, has been a serious recruiting target for the Tennessee staff.

The Vols were able to get Bonds to campus for an unofficial visit during the season, at which point he guaranteed he would be back for an official.

After making good on that promise, what were Bonds' thoughts on the trip?
